   It was very easy to play and was designed to be enjoyable even for users new to SRPGs.
   The storyline was good as it moved along at a good pace, but it would have been better if the game provided a deeper insight into each individual character.
   In general, I think it was good for a new game. I hope there will be a next one, if there is one.… Expand

Could be a genre defining experience if they put a little more into it !… Expand

   Tonal spoilers but NOT plot spoilers ahead. If you're committed to playing this and just browsing reviews as I often do, don't read this. IfTonal spoilers but NOT plot spoilers ahead.

   This RPG is worth the time of any fan of the genre, and the fan reviews are a real shame. I understand where they're coming from, but let's reward innovation instead of getting salty and whining about it. Experiencing a seamless blend between RTS and Tactics is worth the entry fee alone. The story is excellent. Honestly, people who say it's generic have not played for more than a few hours. It's true you've seen these elements before in the fantasy genre. It's also completely irrelevant. Where they take things is far more mature territory than the average book for adults, let alone RPG. There is no simple good vs evil plot to be found here. It's more like playing through the arc of a Game of Thrones (when it was good) character. I believe that's the reason some people are salty about it. You don't get to feel like everything is sunny and wonderful and you ride off with your waifu in the end. Instead you're left wondering what the crom you've just done. That's awesome, extremely rare, and to be encouraged in video games. I can't think of many RPGs where the main character is a machiavellian genius, and I'd bet you can't either.
   
   As far as gameplay goes, it's innovative, satisfying with smooth and polished controls, and sadly unbalanced. It feels like this was made by expert developers, and an amateurish designer with a lot of potential as an artist. If you have a functioning brain, you'll find this extremely easy. Your abilities are too powerful for enemies who attack in such a straightforward and predictable way. Play on hard mode to at least make the occasional neuron fire, but honestly, you'll be in this for the innovative game systems, and the story.
   
   Give the story a bit of time. It will subvert your expectations, and in a good way. "Subvert expectations" has become a dirty phrase of late, with good reason, but nothing here feels meaningless. It just also isn't the typical moral dichotomy it deliberately presents itself as at the start. Weirdly, it's a game meant for intelligent adults, where if you're capable of remembering what all the pieces do in chess, you'll feel like it's difficulty curve is made for small children.
   
   Easy to call this an 8/10.
   
   10/10 for story, characters and polish, docked a few points for being an accidental cake walk.… Expand

   Solid worldbuilding; Story is consistently enjoyable at least on a superficial level; Real-time battles are a fresh break from genre conventions; Managing units and their positioning can be engaging.
   
   Bad-
   Extremely dull characters; Battles eventually get repetitive; Not enough variation in mechanics, enemies, and objectives; Under baked hub location; Visually bland.
   
   Thoughts-
   The DioField Chronicle is an exciting proof-of-concept, and it has to be commended for its real-time tactics ambitions and for its story, which is, at the very least, enjoyable, if not wholly original. It’s a game where there’s definitely fun to be had and things to be appreciated. But it feels underbaked in more ways than one, and even the pats of the game that are good are often marred by significant flaws. For hardcore genre fans, The DioField Chronicle might be worth looking into, but keep in mind that many probably might not have patience for its considerable flaws.… Expand

   - the missions are all the same, just different maps, even doing only the quests as they appear feels like grinding
   - the enemy AI is inexistent
   - even on hard, there is no need for a strategy at all, just keep your gear up to date and click the enemy
   - the enemies are all the same with a bit of character model difference; even the bosses are just higher stated of the boring same enemies
   - there is no character depth ness they are all unidimensional and clichè
   - the plot has potential, but the writing is laughable
   - no verticality
   - no friendly fire, not even as a more challenging difficulty option
   - your abilities are instantaneous, and the enemies take centuries to cast; they just stay there charging to hit nobody
   
   huge waste of money and opportunity… Expand
